Some time ago the automatic use of the Gnome libraries was removed, because Gnome introduces a few problems. I will update the remark in gui_x11.txt and in src/Makefile. Note that this has nothing to do with the Gnome desktop. -- The Law of VIM: For each member b of the possible behaviour space B of program P, there exists a finite time t before which at least one user u in the total user space U of program P will request b becomes a member of the allowed behaviour space B' (B' <= B).
